Anaesthetists in Training Representative Group (ATRG)

I am an ST7 Anaesthetic trainee in the Wales Deanery. I serve as the Stage 3 Specialty Trainee Committee representative for the Welsh School of Anaesthesia.  My clinical interests are in Obstetric Anaesthesia, and I have undertaken a Fellowship with the Obstetric Bleeding Study (‘OBS UK’). My non-clinical passions are in improving workforce conditions, including staff well-being and morale.

Key interests and/or skills: My key areas of interest are regional anaesthesia and anaesthesia for patients with complex Airway. I also love teaching and have been involved in various teaching programs across North East. Outside work I am a cricket and golf enthusiast. Love being on the field.

I'm an ST6 trainee based in Manchester. After graduating from Edinburgh University and completing Foundation training in Edinburgh, I moved to Glasgow for Core Anaesthetics, before returning to the North West for my registrar training. I have a specialist interest in Obstetric Anaesthetics, love baking and live in South Manchester with my young family.

I'm currently training in the North of Scotland having moved here in 2021, after graduating from the University of Dundee and spending time working in Edinburgh and Australia.

Prior to joining the ATRG, I have held trainee representative posts at both local and regional level, as well as sitting on the Scottish Council for the BMA. I am proud to represent the interests of my colleagues' training and wellbeing in these roles. 

Outside work, I can be found spending time with my dog, cooking and dabbling in various other fleeting hobbies and interests.

My clinical interests are in perioperative medicine, complex airway and vascular surgery. I enjoy complex patient groups and planning to optimise their anaesthetic journey while working closely with my surgical and medical colleagues. Outside of clinical work I have a strong interest in teaching and have developed and run local novice anaesthesia programmes at multiple hospitals within the East of England. As a local trainee representative I have worked hard to address complex issues such as bullying and harassment and lack of facilities. I have brought this passion for wellbeing into my role as regional trainee representative. I write the regional newsletter (Grade 1 View) and my other main focus as regional representative is the development of a neurodiversity hub for the East of England to support neurodivergent trainees; and also trainers who interact with them to better support them in their progress through training.

In my personal life I am a keen musician and triathlete.

I am an ST6 trainee in the East Midlands and am currently working LTFT. I trained in Newcastle, before moving to the East Midlands where I have completed all my anaesthetic training to date. I am interested in paediatric anaesthesia and I am passionate about trainee wellbeing. Outside of work I enjoy playing netball and reading.

I am currently an ST7 Anaesthetic trainee and hold the position of Lead Anaesthetic Resident Representative for the Kent, Surrey & Sussex (KSS) region.  I completed my Core Anaesthetic training in Surrey, followed by Higher in Kent and Sussex.  Over the past three years, I have held the role of Less Than Full Time (LTFT) Representative for KSS.  In addition, I have been elected as a member of the Anaesthetists in Training (AiT) committee. 

My areas of special interest include obstetric anaesthesia and complex airway management. Outside of my professional commitments, I have a young family and enjoy long-distance running.

Having graduated from the University of Leeds and done my Core Anaesthetics training in West Yorkshire, I moved back to my native South Yorkshire for Specialty Training.  This has given me a good overview of the Yorkshire & Humber region as a whole and I am able to network with other colleagues in the wider region to discuss issues and disseminate information between South, West & East Yorkshire. I am currently in Stage 3 training and am Co-Chair on our regional Committee of Anaesthetists in Training (CAT); we regularly meet to discuss training issues and organise a regional conference for residents along with social events and well being days.

Outside of work my hobbies include running/cycling, yoga and accompanying my partner and Jack Russell terriers on outdoor adventures of varying intensity.

I am a registrar in anaesthesia based in (and from!) the West Midlands, currently working at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham which is also the Royal Centre for Defence Medicine. 

There are several aspects of specialty training that have gradually improved in the recent past which I think we could now hardly imagine being without. Such developments are made both possible and a reality through the collaborative endeavours of teams like the Anaesthetists in Training Representative Group, for which I represent the Defence Deanery. 

Rather than corresponding to a region, this deanery comprises a cadre of around sixty resident doctors who are regular serving members of one of the three services: the British Army, Royal Navy, and Royal Air Force. We are spread across the UK within NHS hospitals. My role is to ensure that the unique training challenges faced by our defence doctors specialising in anaesthesia are represented.

I am entering the latter part of my training, currently coming to the end of my Stage 3 anaesthesia posts with a year of ICM left to go. 

Since starting ACCS in 2017 I have passed through major changes in our portfolios, curriculum and training. Working through these challenges I developed an interest in supporting and advocating for my fellow residents.

I have been fortunate to have held various educational and trainee lead positions during my training culminating in this role as Birmingham School representative for the last 15 months. I aim to actively address training issues attending regular school meetings as well as co-organising an annual prize evening. 

My clinical interests include cardiothoracic anaesthesia, regional anaesthesia, major surgery and point of care ultrasound.

Outside of work I enjoy cooking, reading and spending time with my wife and cat. Once a keen cyclist, my current aims are to stay fit anyway that I can and prevent my waistline increasing further.
